    Al-Zahrawi was an influential medieval Muslim surgeon whose work, compiled in Al-Tasrif, was the most cited surgical authority of the Middle Ages and was referenced over 200 times by a 14th century French surgeon. Al-Tasrawi invented early medical devices like an inhaler and pioneered surgical procedures still used today, though some were later named after European physicians who spread his techniques throughout Europe and the Christian world. His contributions revolutionized medieval surgery and the procedures and tools he developed helped advance medicine for centuries.

    Al-Zahrawi was the "most frequently cited surgical authority of the Middle Ages"

    In the 14th century, the French surgeon Guy de Chauliac quoted al-Tasrif over 200
    times.

    An early inhaler invented by al-Zahrawi. At the top is the original Arabic while the Latin translation is at the
    bottom.

    Al-Tasrif made its way from al-Andalus throughout the Muslim and Christian worlds. Thus, many of the procedures he pioneered were given
    names that do not indicate that he originated them. For example, the Walcher position of childbirth and the Kocher method for fixing
    dislocated shoulders were invented by al-Zahrawi but credited to later European physicians.

    Why we should praise for his work.


    Regardless of credit, al-Zahrawis contributions to medicine and particularly surgery were revolutionary for his time. Without the procedures
    and tools that he pioneered, surgery today may still be a barbaric guessing game. His abilities and his consistent recording of procedures
    helped advance medicine for centuries, and we are still in debt to his genius.
